A tool for recovering passwords from RAR archives

Free RAR Password Recovery allows you to open RAR archive files for which you have lost the password. When you create a RAR file, you have the option of locking it with a password. If you lose or forget the password, then the contents of the file are encrypted in a way that makes them difficult to retrieve. With this tool, you may recover your lost password.

A free and paid tool for unlocking RAR files

Free RAR Password Recovery has a free function that allows you to recover your password, but things such as updates and extra features are locked. If you wish to gain access to them, you will need to buy the software. The program allows you to unlock a variety of RAR files that have been created by different programs, and self-extracting archives are supported too. The interface is very ugly because very little has been added to the basic interface programming in the form of aesthetics. It looks like an amateur program created by a student studying the C++ programming language. Nevertheless, the tool has numerous features and functions that are laid out in a way that makes them easy to figure out. The program works by brute-force attacking the RAR file, which will work in many cases because regular RAR files are not adaptive, nor do they have settings that thwart multiple password attempts.

Despite its ugly interface, it is as advanced as a tool needs to be in order to unlock RAR files. If you really hate the way it looks, then you may also skin your tool to make it prettier.
